Hi Reader!

Last month, I decided to enter every email subscriber into a random drawing for a free open-edition print of "El Rai". You all had until the end of the month to join the list and enter the drawing. Well... now it's time to announce the winner!

And the winner is...

Myown! Congratulations!!!

Okay, so maybe you didn't win and you want another chance at a free open-edition print? I feel that! Good news. I’m doing it all over again this month with a different open-edition print. Stay tuned to find out which one.​
​
​In other news, I thought I’d share some more updates with what’s going on behind the canvas. Here’s the big picture in bullet-points:

• After holding my first solo exhibition, I started to feeling what can only be described as burnout (yikes).
• As a pregnant wife and a mom of a toddler, I realized that I needed to pivot and take a step back to prioritize myself and my family (and yes, to rest).
• Am I still making art? YES, of course. (How could I not?) In fact, I’ve picked up watercolor and gouache, and I am painting on much smaller "canvases" lately.
• Will I offer any of these pieces to the marketplace? Maybe in the future, but for now, I’m getting back into the curiosity and exploration of art for art’s sake (and am thoroughly enjoying it!).

You can still purchase artwork on my website. In fact, I’ve revamped it just for you.

Some originals are available, both Statement Pieces and what I've called "Collector Starters". You can browse them here.

I also now have a limited quantity of limited edition, large-format signed prints available too. Only 10 of each will ever be sold. You can browse limited-edition prints here.

For open-edition prints, I have a BIG update.​
I’ve decided to switch production companies to allow for a more seamless ordering experience and to free up some of my time. With my previous company, I had to pick up each print locally and personally ship them to you. Now that's all wrapped-up into the ordering and production process, so you should see quicker delivery times.

Don’t worry, I didn’t skimp on quality. I ordered several test prints to make sure they meet my high standards and deliver the quality you deserve. And since I'm no longer touching every single print by hand, I've accommodated a bit on the price. These start at just $40 (and thoughtful art always makes and excellent gift). You can shop open-edition prints here.

What else?

Well, I’m officially in my third trimester, so you can expect emails to slow down a bit, but I’m still here!

And with that, I’ll leave you with a photo of my fav watercolor (actually gouache) painting so far.

With love, grace, and gratitude,

P.S. Still working out the kinks with the new ordering system and transferring my domain to my updated site (blah: technical stuff). If you have any trouble ordering, just shoot me an email and I'll help you out. I love to hear from you regardless!
